Good morning FS warriors! I am tickled with my passing another 10's even if it is squeaking by at 1/10th of a pound, this is about 1 pound less than I usually lose during a fast, but the addition of more fiber and protein kind of makes that a given. My fast was easier than usual, not as much hunger on day 1 than I usually have and there was definitely a reduction in meal time related waves. More TMI...I had consistent BM's each morning so that tells me that I have increased digestive transit time. For my 7 day running average nutrition scores I am at 78% for all targets which is an improvement over 52%. Vitamins 92%, Minerals 80%, Electrolytes 78%, Immune support 87%, Bone Health 87%, and Metabolism support 85%, for me that is very very good because earlier in the month with my previous intake I barely got a 43% on any of them. I don't think that with fasting I really need to strive for 100% of anything because doing without any intake for 3 days out of 7 is going to have a huge impact on my nutrition scores. My sleep has finally returned to an uninterrupted 8 hours with about 5.5 being deep sleep and 2.5 being light sleep. I am waking rested and clear-headed, no morning fuzziness. So all in all I am pleased with my venture into a nutrition focus, it did slow down my weight loss, but it has adjusted me towards a slower loss which I believe will be better in the long run....and this is a long run. As I track my micro-nutrients I am learning which foods give me the most bang for my buck and I am hoping that in time I can reach my nutrition goals with more whole foods and fewer supplements, only time will tell. You guys have a fast-tastic day, I'm heading to the kitchen to break mine...I'm hungry 😁

I downloaded Cronometer and whoa! Even the free version is head and shoulders above FS for tracking nutrition. Their community doesn't compare, though. I will track in both for awhile and see how it goes.

I think I am going to leave my supplements in Cronometer and just track my food intake in FS Lady D, since FS does not compile info on all the nutrients, there is really no point in logging it all unless it has protein, carbs and fats.
